Kazakhstan reports attempts to recruit locals to join Russian military in Ukraine

Ukraine continues to quietly coordinate evacuations from temporarily Russian-occupied territories, where residents’ quality of life is severely diminished, particularly those who are elderly, disabled or require medical treatment.

The latest attacks in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast follow several days of deadly Russian strikes across Ukraine, hitting residential buildings and critical civilian infrastructure, killing civilians, disrupting power and water supplies, and damaging bridges and other infrastructure.

Lawmakers from both major parties argued the move would undermine recently enacted sanctions against Russia, potentially provide Moscow with billions of dollars in revenue, and contradict Congress's efforts to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.

Effective Oct. 10, the Russian government will permit the sale of 500,000 tons of diesel to foreign markets. Moscow previously banned diesel exports in July in response to Ukrainian strikes.

In the letter, Rep. Jamie Raskin and Rep. Jim Himes urged the FBI director to cancel the visit, citing “urgent national security concerns,” including the FSB's history of conducting espionage operations against American officials.

"I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president," U.S. President Donald Trump said when questioned about his deal to ease sanctions against Russia in exchange for diesel.

Three children were among those killed by a Russian airstrike in the early hours of Oct. 10. Some victims were trapped for hours beneath the rubble as rescuers searched for survivors.

Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with 160 drones, including 110 jet-powered drones and Gerbera drones, Ukraine's Air Force said.

Loud explosions rang out in Kyiv around 2 p.m. on Oct. 10, according to Kyiv Independent journalists in the city, as Russia launched a series of missiles at the city following a morning drone attack on energy infrastructure.

The Kyiv Independent’s Francis Farrell joins the Alter Ego Battalion of Ukraine’s 93rd Mechanized Brigade to see how Ukrainian soldiers are developing and deploying unmanned ground vehicles in the war against Russia.

"Our commitment to Ukraine is central to our overall ambitions," reads a text explaining the EU's latest compromise budget proposal.

The number includes 1,420 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

ASTRA also reported damage to a residential building in Rostov-on-Don's Donskaya Sloboda complex, identifying its location through footage posted by residents. It remained unclear what struck the building amid reports of continued drone activity and Russian air defense operations.
